First review packet: command safety

CategoryVerificationStatusArchived project-management historyLast reviewed2026-07-04

Archived: this completed preparation packet is retained as workflow history and is not the current review handoff.

This is a ready-to-send packet for the first narrow private review assignment.

It asks a reviewer to check command-safety wording only. It does not ask the reviewer to run commands, rewrite pages broadly, or mark anything checked.

Check whether command examples and command-like guidance are clearly labeled as untested unless a local test record exists.

The reviewer should flag anything that looks like beginner copy/paste guidance when it is only source-observed, illustrative, or planned.

Primary pages:

  • docs/verification/command-smoke-test-plan.md
  • docs/verification/command-testing.md
  • docs/verification/command-example-scan.md
  • docs/developers/rpc-overview.md
  • STYLE_CONVENTIONS.md

Secondary pages if time allows:

  • docs/nodes/node-guide.md
  • docs/wallets/wallet-guide.md
  • docs/mining/mining-overview.md
  • docs/configuration/configuration-overview.md
  • docs/configuration/rpc-configuration.md

Please review only the assigned pages.

Do not:

  • run commands,
  • add new command examples,
  • mark anything locally tested,
  • promote pages to Verified,
  • rewrite broad sections,
  • add wallet movement, private-key, passphrase, live transaction, or production setup instructions.

Flag any command or command-like example that:

  • sounds locally tested without a dated test record,
  • could affect funds,
  • could expose secrets,
  • could change live peer/network behavior,
  • could submit live transactions or blocks,
  • could change wallet encryption or recovery state,
  • could be mistaken for beginner copy/paste guidance,
  • belongs in a later test phase or Do not publish group.

### Overall recommendation
Ready for next review / Needs fixes first
Please review only the assigned command-safety pages. Do not run commands and do not rewrite broadly.
Goal: flag any command example or command-like wording that sounds locally tested, beginner-ready, or safe to copy/paste without a dated test record.
Please especially flag anything involving funds, wallet secrets, wallet encryption, live transaction submission, block submission, peer-list changes, manual peer changes, network-active toggles, production data directories, or public RPC exposure.
Please use the feedback format in `docs/verification/first-review-packet-command-safety.md`.

This review is successful if it produces one of these outcomes:

  • no blockers found and the reviewer says command labels are clear enough for private review,
  • specific command examples are flagged for softer wording,
  • specific examples are moved to a later phase or marked not suitable for publication,
  • unclear command status labels are identified.
